The present disclosure discloses systems, methods and an apparatus for non-contact and eye-movement input of an elevator floor, which comprises: selecting a target camera according to a distance sensor installed on a button panel inside the elevator; triggering a corresponding target camera by using the distance sensor for face detection; standardizing a detected human face and locating a binocular position; inputting data of a standardized human face image and a binocular image into a preset posture discriminator to obtain a predicted head posture and an eyeball posture; according to the head posture and the eyeball posture, calculating a line-of-sight direction and a coordinate of an attention point, detecting whether a dwell time of the line-of-sight is greater than a preset time threshold, and, if so, triggering a button at the coordinate of the attention point.

An aspect includes a system with a communication interface configured to receive a mobile device location indicator at a first location and a second location. The system also includes a memory system and a processing system configured to perform operations. The operations include detecting a mobile device at the first location and observing a current state of one or more conditions present during detection of the mobile device. A travel prediction of the mobile device between the first location and the second location is determined based on a travel history of the mobile device and the current state of the one or more conditions. A command is output to a dispatching system based on detection of the mobile device at the first location and the travel prediction of the mobile device to align with a predicted arrival of the mobile device at the second location.

An elevator scheduling method and an apparatus, a server, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The elevator scheduling method is applied to a server, and comprises: determining an elevator schedule request, wherein the elevator schedule request comprises starting floor information and target floor information; determining a target elevator to be scheduled to a target robot based on the elevator schedule request and operation information of schedulable elevators; generating a control instruction based on the starting floor information, the target floor information, and identification information of the target elevator; and sending the control instruction to an elevator control device, wherein the elevator control device controls movement of the target elevator.

A switch device for an elevator is arranged to manipulate a physical button of the elevator. The physical button is triggered to generate an operating signal to control the operation of the elevator. The switch device for the elevator includes a motion sensor, an actuator and a controller. The motion sensor detects the movement of a user to generate a sense signal. The actuator is disposed at the position corresponding to the physical button. The actuator presses the physical button based on a control signal. The controller is electrically connected to the motion sensor and the actuator. The controller receives the sense signal and generates the control signal based on the sense signal. The controller transmits the control signal to the actuator. A switch device of an elevator is able to manipulate the elevator under the condition that the user does not touch the physical button.

A touchless elevator call button selection device utilizing a plurality of infrared beams is disclosed along with its method of use. By using beams of light to detect the position of a user's hand, the touchless elevator call button selection device allows the user to interface with the elevator control system without physically coming into contact with the elevator control system.

An elevator operation panel has a plurality of buttons for selecting target floors and a plurality of touch-sensitive areas, each area being associated with one of the buttons. The panel includes an output device, such as a display or a loudspeaker, for outputting information, a control unit connected to the buttons, to the areas and to the output device, and a data storage device storing at least one data folder for each target floor. Each folder contains information relating to the associated target floor. Upon triggering one of the touch-sensitive areas, the control unit reads the information in one of the folders relating to the target floor selectable by the button to which the area is associated and outputs the information at the output device. Subsequent triggering of the same area causes the control unit to read another folder related to the target floor and output the information therein.

Provided is an elevator landing guidance device including: a hall operation panel (2) provided on each of floors, which is configured to output a guide sound (A) for informing a position of the hall operation panel (2) and accept input of landing call registration; and a guide sound generator (3), which is provided to a landing of each of the floors for each of elevator machines, and which is configured to output a guide sound (B) for informing a position of the landing. When the landing call registration is input to the hall operation panel (2), the guide sound (B) is output from the guide sound generator (3) installed so as to correspond to one of the elevator machines, which is assigned to the landing call registration.

A method of configuring an elevator system (1), includes positioning a wireless communication device (4, 4′) on or within an elevator car (2). When the elevator car (2) is in the vicinity of a landing floor (8a) of the elevator system (1), the wireless communication device (4, 4′) transmits data comprising a unique identification code, or part thereof (26, 44) to a landing fixture (10a, 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a) on the landing floor (8a). The landing fixture (10a, 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a) receives the data. The method further includes, based on the received data, the landing fixture (10a, 12a, 14a, 16a, 18a) storing the unique identification code (44).

The present invention provides a contactless elevator control system and method. The system comprises an infrared touch sensor, a relay control device and an elevator button control device, wherein: the infrared touch sensor emits an array of multiple infrared beams, receives reflected infrared beams, calculates a vertical and lateral displacement, determines a corresponding coordinate information, calculates a corresponding elevator button, and sends a corresponding control; the relay control device drives the corresponding relay contacts to close. The solution uses the infrared touch sensor to achieve contactless control of elevator buttons, reducing the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses when touching the elevator buttons.

A control system for controlling an operation of an elevator arranged to service different floors of a building, is disclosed. The control system comprises an input interface configured to receive a measurement of a distance metric to an object located at a service floor in a line-of-sight of a sensor; an output interface configured to cause a display device to display a floor value indicating a destination floor; and a processor configured to compare the received distance metric with a referenced distance metric to estimate a sign of the comparison and a value of the comparison; repeatedly update, until a termination condition is met, the floor value displayed on the display device in a direction of the elevator service indicated by the sign and with a frequency of the update indicated by the value; and cause the elevator to perform the service operation from the service floor to the destination floor.
